It stands to reason that the mining team in Shangpu has advanced equipment, many people, and has been in the mountains for a long time, so it should have been easier for them to find jade mines, but in fact, it is not.

The mining team in Shangpu has been busy for two years, and finally it has no income, losing nearly 10 million yuan, and it ended gloomily.

But Kurban didn't give up, anyway, he was alone, and he went into the mountains every day to collect jade, even if he picked a piece of jade with a not very good texture, it was also earned, after all, he didn't lose much, this is the so-called boat Xiaohao U-turn.

In the third year, a piece of news came to Shangpu from Hejiang, saying that it was deeper in the mine excavated by the Shangpu mining team that Kurban found a piece of green and white jade weighing hundreds of catties.

The boss of Shangpu was anxious, and finally even went to court, wanting to take the jade from Kurban, but Kurban was very smart, he had no money and no power at the time, and he knew that he couldn't keep the jade with his own ability, so he simply sold the jade to the government, although the money was a little less, but the boss of Shangpu had nothing to do with him.

Not only that, but the government thought of Kurban's goodness and financed him to contract a small piece of mineral vein, and since then, Kurban has developed.

The meaning of one-eyed telling this story is actually to tell Zhang Tianyuan, the so-called "jade fate", that is, the fate between you and jade, not because you consume a lot and lose a lot, but because you can find jade with advanced technology.

In fact, this is also a kind of "gambling stone", but it is just a direct gambling mine, and if you win, you will make a profit, and if you lose, you will naturally lose a lot of money.

The people here believe in jade, so they are very religious about jade mining. Before entering the mountain, you must pray for the blessings of the gods.

The rest is almost over, and the tent has been set up. One-eyed Jianyi went out to look for mines, and by the way, he also did the business of jade mining.

Or it can simply be said to be "fishing for jade". Because the place they are going to is the lower reaches of a river in Shihezigou, and they are fishing for jade from the river.

Several people were all sad about the sturdy back basket, anyway, under normal circumstances, the jade found by fishing for jade is not too big, and it is easier to carry it than the jade found in the mine.

Zhang Tianyuan also thought it was fun, so he borrowed a backpack from the camp and went to fish for jade with him, anyway. While going upstream, since there is Ziyu downstream, it will be easier to find ore with rough stones in the upstream.

When he was a child, his family was still relatively poor, and there was a shortage of food in the countryside at that time, so he would take a "busy vacation" in primary school, which was to help his family dare to farm and pick wheat by the way.

Wheat is gathered after the wheat field has been harvested. Then you can use a rake to clean the ears of wheat scattered on the ground, and then you can go to other people's fields to gather wheat, most of which are scattered in the ground.

Some of the fields were very clean, and there were a lot of people collecting wheat. Therefore, I often have to run dozens of kilometers to pick up a few ears of wheat.

This jade fishing is more difficult than picking wheat, you must know that there are many people who fish for jade. For thousands of years, the river has been fished by an unknown number of people. So there is actually very little jade left. And they are often hidden in the cracks of the stones, mixed with the pebbles, and are difficult to identify.

For Sima Yi, One-Eyed, Kun Zhou, Gulzhana, and Alpha, if they can pick up a good piece of jade, then they may not have to worry about it in their lives, but this kind of thing is not easy, you may walk for a day, a few days, a few years and you can't find a piece of jade, even if you find it, it may be some bad material.

But it's good to have hope, if there is hope, you will have fighting spirit, and if you have fighting spirit, you will be willing to fight!

Everyone took off their shoes, pulled up their trouser legs, and then walked barefoot in the river, putting their feet into the water conservancy in the summer, when the water flowed through the skin, the feeling was quite comfortable, but don't let the angular stones stab your feet, otherwise it will be troublesome.

Although this is the downstream area, there are mostly pebbles, but there is no guarantee that there will be no angular stones, so everyone is very careful.

A few people walked thousands of meters of waterway, stepping on the river beach, those people didn't care, Zhang Tianyuan found that his feet were actually worn out, sure enough, if you don't do this kind of work often, you will definitely suffer.

He didn't want others to worry, so he used earth qi to heal his worn foot injury, but it was really troublesome to cure it and break it, and then treat it if it was broken.

In addition, he walked for thousands of meters, but he didn't find a piece of jade, he wanted to give up a little, and the original intention of playing was gone, he was originally here to find a vein, but not to fish for jade, the so-called jade fishing, just to accompany these people to play.

He looked up at the one-eyed them, and saw that they were all walking in the water with their waists straight, and they didn't even look underwater, as if they didn't care if there was any jade in the water.

He was a little puzzled, and asked, "One-eyed, don't you look under your feet, aren't you afraid of missing the jade?" ”

One-eyed smiled: "In terms of culture, we are not as good as you, but when it comes to fishing for jade, Consultant Zhang, you are really a layman." As long as you walk in the turbid deep water, you can distinguish which piece is jade and which piece is stone by the feeling of your feet, and you will never miss it. ”

"That's amazing!" Zhang Tianyuan was a little shocked, this is not a special function, this is pure experience and technology.

Zhang Tianyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he just stared at the blow with his eyes wide, if it was clear water, it would be better to at least see what was in the water, but it was not easy to do, because there were too many pebbles, some white stones were very similar to jade, it was easy to see it wrong, and if you saw too much, it would dazzle people and make their heads dizzy.

He simply didn't experience life at all, he stood directly on the river beach, and started the word search trick, looking for jade, and the word search trick is the king.

Now his word-finding trick can accurately determine the location of the jade, which is all thanks to the last time he was in Yancheng, the earth's qi realm was improved.

Seeing Zhang Tianyuan standing there and simply closing his eyes, Sima Yi lightly touched his one eye and said, "See, it's really someone from the city, and he can't endure hardship." It won't work for a while, and I actually close my eyes. How can you find jade like that? ”

"Probably Advisor Zhang is not rare with these jades, he is here to find jade mines. Since he's tired, let's let him rest for a while, anyway, we don't rely on him to find jade. One-Eye said.

"That's right, everyone has their own strengths, Brother Zhang knows how to identify jade, and we will find the jade that we can't get in a while, so we can let him help identify it." Gulzana also spoke for Zhang Tianyuan.

"Hehe, you guys believe in that student baby very much, I think he's too young anyway. Although the culture is very good, I have too little experience. Sima Yi smiled, stopped talking, and simply continued to look for jade.

A few people were talking, and suddenly heard Zhang Tianyuan shouting: "One-eyed, go forward five steps, and then move about a meter to the left, there may be jade there." ”

"Huh? Consultant Zhang: How do you know? ”

"Shinra sue sù mine." Zhang Tianyuan released the Shinra that had already rested, but it was just for a show. In fact, he was still looking for it, and the HRE was just a shield, in order to reasonably explain why he was able to find the jade.

In fact, One-Eyed is right, he is not rare with these Ziyu in the river. Of course, except if there is mutton fat jade, but it is only worth tens of thousands of yuan, or even thousands of dollars. He is not rare, it is better to be a favor. Let these people be grateful to him, and they will open mines here in the future. Someone else will take care of it.

"I'll go take a look." One-eyed actually didn't believe Zhang Tianyuan's words, but he couldn't refute Zhang Tianyuan's face, since Zhang Tianyuan said so, then it was nothing for him to go over and take a look, anyway, just take a few more steps.

But when he walked to the position that Zhang Tianyuan said, his eyes showed surprise: "Yes, there is really a piece of jade that is not small." ”

One-Eye happily bent down and picked up the piece of jade, good fellow, it was the size of a football, no wonder One-Eye was so happy.

He held the jade directly in his arms, and then walked to the shore, this was the first harvest of the day, so it also attracted the attention of Sima Yi and others, and everyone gathered.

Perhaps because he was so happy, when One-Eye was walking towards the shore, one of his feet accidentally slipped and fell into the water, and the jade also flew up and fell to the shore.

Ignoring the fact that he was soaked, One-Eye stood up and asked anxiously, "Is Jade okay?" It's not broken, is it? ”

"Don't worry about any jade, you come up quickly, don't think that you won't catch a cold in summer, this is a place at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and it will be cold after a while, while there is still sun, quickly take it off and dry it." Zhang Tianyuan said.

One-eyed saw that the jade was in the dirt on the shore, intact, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that in his eyes, the jade was even more important than his body, this guy, alas.

"Laugh! Still laughing! You said you were pretty stable before, how could you fall just now? As he spoke, Zhang Tianyuan took out a clean set of clothes from his backpack and said, "Go, take off your wet clothes, find a big rock behind a big rock and change into dry clothes." ”

"But ......"

"I know you're rare with this jade, let's wait for you to change your clothes and then look at it." Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly.

After receiving this reply, One-Eyed hurriedly grabbed his dry clothes and ran to the back of a stone, took off his wet clothes, and screwed them almost, and dried them directly on the stone, at this time the stone was still hot, so it should dry relatively quickly.

After changing his clothes, he hurriedly ran over, and Zhang Tianyuan was squatting there looking at the piece of jade.

This piece of jade is smooth and round as a whole, as if it has been polished and polished manually, but in fact, it is only caused by the erosion of the river, and the whole jade presents a very good-looking oval shape, without stone skin, and the white jade flesh can be seen from the surface.

Zhang Tianyuan stretched out his hand and hugged the jade, and said, "It's about ten kilograms, it's good, it's rare to find such a jade downstream." ”

"How about Advisor Zhang, is this piece of jade valuable?" One-Eye asked eagerly.

"I said Captain One-Eyed, what are you anxious about, this jade was discovered by Advisor Zhang, and it is not yours." Gulzana laughed.

"Oh, I just saw Yu happy, what Consultant Zhang found was Consultant Zhang's, I won't want it." One-eyed is simply that.

Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said: "Forget it, if it weren't for a few of you this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to enter the mountain or get here, no matter how much this jade is worth, it will be divided equally between the five of you." ”

In fact, he knew the approximate value of this piece of jade, so he didn't ask for it, if the value was too high, he wouldn't be so generous. (To be continued......)
